Who I Am

About Me

Cloud Solutions Architect with 8+ years designing, building, and operating AWS systems in regulated industries: healthcare and financial services.

Currently a senior solutions architect on a top-5 U.S. commercial bank's AWS migration and modernization program (80+ TB data migration, SQL Server to RDS, internal and customer-facing portals, mainframe-to-cloud coexistence), and a Wipro AI Council member and AI Champion (one of 220) shaping the firm's AI-enabled engineering strategy.

Before that: reference architectures adopted by 60+ teams across 600+ applications, teams led to 99.999% uptime, AWS spend cut by $2M per year, and architecture for systems serving 35M+ Medi-Cal beneficiaries under HIPAA and HITRUST.

Outside work I lead the AWS User Group Bay Area, co-host AWS Community Day Bay Area AI Edition (October 13, 2026) and its two-week Agentic AI Hackathon, and build Aura Learning Studio, a free agentic AI accessibility platform on a fully serverless AWS stack.
